Scott Niederjohn: Federal credit card price cap plan threatens credit access
Lenders don’t respond to capped interest rates by continuing to provide them with loans out of civic duty. They respond by lending less.

Dipesh Navsaria: Confused immunization messaging bolsters anti-vax agenda
The messaging from the federal government — the Department of Health and Human Services and its agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices — can only be characterized as a confused mess of some existing science, cherry-picked fringe studies, unproven theories, and wishful thinking.

Jay Rothman: Artificial Intelligence: Preparing Wisconsin for the Future
The question isn’t whether AI will change our lives, but how Wisconsin prepares to thrive in an AI-enabled world.

Chris Taylor: The choice for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court: rights or restrictions
State courts are often the last line of defense when it comes to protecting our fundamental rights and freedoms and in holding those who violate the law accountable, no matter how powerful or privileged. That is why this race matters, and why I am running to be your next Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice.

Gwen Moore: Wisconsin Supreme Court should take up gerrymandered maps
Bothfeld v. Wisconsin Election Commission case is an opportunity for Wisconsin to turn a new page and end minority rule at the federal level. The court should move with deliberate speed to remedy this wrong and strengthen our democracy.

Richard Moore: The Legislature that isn’t
Rep. Brent Jacobson and colleagues introduced measures that would return lawmaking power itself to the branch where the Wisconsin constitution says it belongs.

James Causey: Effort to reduce Milwaukee homicides dealt maddening blow
What I admire most about Procell is how he inspired people who made mistakes. He did not shy away from discussing his past or downplay his actions. He is proof that second chances can work.

Bill Kaplan: Be outraged, nonviolent and vote
To check Trump, Americans must be convinced to vote for a Democratic-led Congress. Violence and extreme rhetoric would be wrong and counterproductive. Keep your eyes on the prize.

John Nichols: Tom Tiffany chooses ignorance
Tiffany’s steadfast refusal to break with the administration — even on issues where it would make sense to do so — has often required absurd political contortions. Nowhere was that more evident than in Tiffany’s response to the killing of Alex Pretti.

Jerry Hanson: It’s about deploying fear and intimidation on American streets
America’s largest federal law enforcement agency has become Trump’s own national police force.

David Blaska: Keeping an uncivil tongue
American presidents set a tone. Some do fireside chats, this one pollutes the atmosphere with vengeful rants.

WisOpinion: ‘The Insiders’ consider how Evers will spend his final year in office
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider what Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers will do in his final year in office. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

Dave Cieslewicz: Guv race hits the drop-out phase
The first candidate to leave the field is Republican Josh Schoemann.

Gregg Hoffmann: Knowles-Nelson watered down
Two bills renew the Knowles-Nelson in name but fundamentally weaken the stewardship program’s core purpose: preserving important natural communities, protecting water quality and fisheries, and expanding opportunities for outdoor recreation.

Tom Still: Just catching up: Some follow-ups on past columns and news”
Writing a weekly column is always a snapshot in time. Things can and do happen to advance the story. Here are a few examples tied to my recent “Inside Wisconsin” columns:

Patrick McIlheran: A foolish law wages war against homemade shindigs
Wedding barn law already bites into Wisconsin businesses

Amelia Alvarez: Wisconsin needs stronger digital privacy protections
There are still major gaps in how the law protects students’ health and personal data once it leaves a doctor’s office or a classroom.

Scott Walker: Democrats fuel the flames of rage
In Minnesota, a needless reenactment of 2020

Mark Becker: There are no ‘both sides’ to the execution of Alex Pretti
Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman who was violently shoved to the ground by ICE agents. He was beaten. He was disarmed of a gun he was legally permitted to carry. And he was executed. There is no other side to that.

Jamie Stiehm: We owe Minnesota our gratitude for fighting our battles
President Donald Trump and his federal forces chose the wrong city and state for the escalating war on civilians out on the streets and in their homes, resulting in two deaths so far.

WisOpinion: ‘The Insiders’ analyze the blue wave that flipped Wisconsin’s Legislature
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the political blue wave that swept Wisconsin Democrats into control of the state Legislature. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
